The first marriage to take place at St Michaels Tonge was in June 1840. This marriage isn`t on the Middleton Marriage Index. Have you tried St Marys Prestwich - which was the mother church for the area? Doreen in Middleton. ----- Original Message ----- > I am looking for information about the marriage of William Thornley to Elizabeth Berry between 1835 and 1838. I think it was at St Michaels Church, Tonge. Does anyone have access to the parish register? --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
